The Cat & Paw Motifs pattern uses simple overlay mosaic crochet techniques with no special stitches and can be incorporated into many projects.

The 24-stitch by 24-row layout means it will fit together with any other Craft Pixie MOTIF pattern. This is part of the Craft Pixie MOTIFS collection and the Craft Pixie Design Process. You can read the Introduction to the Craft Pixie Design Process here.

We have also created some simple projects in our Craft Pixie PROJECTS gallery to inspire and help you. You can view the gallery here. Any of the Craft Pixie MOTIFs can be used to make these projects. We will be adding to these all the time, so keep checking back.

However, if you are designing your own project, then you have been provided with a blank grid and some motif images, which you can cut out and arrange in any order. All is explained in the pattern.

The pattern includes

• Detailed instructions on how to use the MOTIFs in any design
• Links to tutorials and downloads
• Pattern notes, abbreviations and yarn usage stats
• Written stitch sequences
• Overlay mosaic crochet charts with keys
• Technical Annex including stitch formation and placement, hints and tips
• Blank Motif Layout Chart and motif images to help you plan your own projects
